Make sure you're at a triple or quadruple lure when you drop it, because every thing you do is doubled for XP

200xp for catching a pokemon you already own
1200xp for catching a brand new pokemon you don't own
100xp for each pokestop you spin
1000xp for evolving pokemon

That's why Pidgey's are so damn useful in leveling up, because it only takes 12 Pidgey candies to give you 1000xp with a lucky egg. I'd find a spot that has a trip/quad lure that also has a lot of other pokestops within close walking distance so you can maximize the XP gained from constantly walking around and hitting pokestops and catching pokemon. I didn't use my first lucky egg until I had about 22 pokemon ready to evolve.

Use this tool to decide if your pokemon is worth evolving for keeps or whether you should save the candies for another higher CP version of that pokemon (applies more for the higher level guys than the lower levels)
